Android: If you've been using the SwiftKey Flow beta since it opened to the public, good news: a new update is available, one that fixes a long-standing bug, improves word predictions, makes it easier to correct errors, and adds some polish to an already great keyboard.

The big change in the latest version of SwiftKey Flow is that the "flow through space" feature works in all text fields—not just a select few. Flow through space lets you treat the space bar like any other key instead of typing a word, then tapping space, and then starting a new word. The update also improves the feature so it works more smoothly with word prediction and corrections, so you don't type a whole sentence and then have to delete half of it to fix errors. Similarly, the new beta improves SwiftKey's error correction—just tap on a word and you'll get three more options to choose from.

Some other improvements in the beta are less significant: new languages, new layouts, bug fixes, and so on. If you want to give SwiftKey Flow a try, the beta is still open, and you can sign up at the link below.
